Jefferson Documented
Thomas Jefferson listed the Evergreen spindle-tree as an ornamental shrub in his only published book, Notes on the State of Virginia. This North American shrub is desirable for its showy fruits, broom-like evergreen stems, and glossy green leaves, which turn yellow-green or sometimes red in fall. It was one of the first New World plants to be introduced to Europe and Britain in 1683. The European Euonymous, or spindle tree, was so-named for the four-sided branches, which were used to make spindles. Bernard McMahon also called it Evergreen Spindle-tree in The American Gardeners Calendar, 1806.
